Smoke from the first-floor fire worked its way through the building at 2327 Hanover Ave. in Allentown, Assistant Fire Chief Lee Laubach said just before 6 a.m. The first call was about 3 a.m. for the fire that began in the bar area, and it took about 20 minutes to get under control, he said. The club was not occupied when the fire started, he said.

No one was hurt and the cause of the one-alarm fire is under investigation, he said as he left the scene. "We're looking at everything," when it comes to a cause, he said.

There is about $30,000 damage to the first floor and the club will not open "for the foreseeable future," he said.
